the one benefit i see is as a final “lock in your answer” function for any form you’re submitting.
And did they have to stop allowing written signatures because of AI scraping? Or is it just because they never looked legible at all?

I scanned the responses, and didn’t see anyone who mentioned this.
The point at which the U.S. allowed you to “sign” your name by typing was when the E-Sign Act was passed. That was in 2000, long before LLMs were really a concern.
The reason was to make online commerce easier. Verbal contacts could and continue to be enforced, but enforcement requires more effort than with a written contact.
At the time I thought the law was passed by people who didn’t understand technology and how easy this made it for people to commit fraud or screw over consumers. However now I realize they just didn’t give a fuck.
